Eyeglasses.



To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMEs C. MOORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Eyeglasses, of which the following is a specification'.

My invention has relation to the noseguards for eyeglasses, in which the bearing contacts with the nose in normal position of the glasses can be shifted'to relieve direct pressure of the glasses against the nose, as well as being adapted to modify or change the location of the bearing-contacts with respect to different conformations of a nose.

The nature and particular characteristic features of my present invention will be more fully understood from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, in Which- Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a pair of eyeglasses embodying the particular constructively-arranged features of my said view on the line of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, 4 is the eyepieces or lenses, respectively mounted in frames 5 and 6.

7 is the spring or bridge-piece for coupling the eyepieces or lens-frame with each other.

8 and 9 are respectively threaded stems for a series of beads or buttons 10, constituting the nose-guards or rests of my said invention, as to constructive arrangement thereof for use. The stems 8 and 9 are held in clamps '12 and 18, projecting from the respective frames 5 and 6, and with which the spring or bridge-piece 7 is iitted and held in required position by means of tighteningscrews 14. The threaded stems8 and 9 of `the nose guards or rests, havingjthe seriesof sputtons .Qnbeads LO.llilioyutedrpmthsbsmcf as S -nasaiaeiaregadpafagaas eshifteaiuieieun-l regardes ssnnieardsyilrersaas, se sa-faslirye Selma pressaneeotittagsarsaersretsiagelast the nose guards or rests, having the series of l buttons or beads 10 mounted on the stems of the same, are adapted to be shifted in an upl ward or downward direction, so as to relieve l direct pressure of the guards or rests against-l Specification of Letters Patent.

EYEGLASSES.

the nose. piece or spring 7 is preferably arranged so as to normally tend to maintain the two guards or rests in close proximity to each other, and in conjunction with the shiftable guards or rests the direct pressure of one contact with respect to another of the guard or rest against the nose is thereby appreciably relieved, so that painful pressure of supported glasses on the nose is obviated. At the same time, through the facility with which the contacts on the stems of the guards can be adjusted to peculiar conformations of noses, is provided eyeglasses having guards or rests in use which afford far greater comfort to the wearer.

I-Iaving thus described the nature and objects of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is*- 1. Eyeglasses having nose-guards, consisting of threaded stems and substantially spherical bodies mounted on said stems and arranged so as to be turned thereon to shift the positions thereof with respect to each other.

2. Eyeglasses provided with nose-guards having stems clamped to the lensframes thereof and a series of buttons or beads mounted on and arranged so as to be shiftable in two directions on said stems.

3. Eyeglasses provided with lens-frames coupled to each other by means of a spring or bridge-piece and nose-guards, consisting of threaded stems and a series of beads or buttons mounted thereon.

4. Eyeglasses comprising lens-frames coupled to each other by means of a spring or bridge-piece, and nose-guards consisting of threaded stems having a series of beads or buttons adjustably mounted thereon,

In witness whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. A
